-----Personality Traits-----

Personality: Destiny is a strong willed individual, with a huge stubborn streak, and is very independent. When she acts on behalf of family or friends, she's like a pit bull and cannot be shaken. Loyal and fierce, with a very developed sense of what's right and what's wrong, she isn't the easiest person to get along with, but once you're her friend, you're her friend.

Strengths: She's compassionate, resolute, unwilling to harm others unnecessarily (people and animals), loyal, and a staunch defender of those unable to defend themselves

Flaws: She's extremely stubborn and can be unyielding. She tends to think with her heart, and her gut reaction, rather than her head. This also makes it very very hard for her to get close to someone and let them in, to trust them. This is why her love life is so tumultous




-----Background-----

Family Relations: Father, Mother (deceased), older sister, older brother

Other Significant People: None yet

Assets: Apartment, bicycle, motorcycle, about $8,000 worth of liquidatable stuff and savings

Your Story: Destiny was born and raised in New York City, to a pair of hard working parents. They weren't rich, or even well off, but they made the best out of what they had. She grew up along with an older brother and an older sister, and was close with her siblings, though she also often stood apart from them. It was simply her personality.

As Destiny grew older, she began to suspect that she was different, unusual. She wasn't sure of how, or why, just that she seemed to be on an entirely different page than anyone else. When she was thirteen, she discovered her power, the ability to see a movement and replicate that movement perfectly as if she'd done it all her life, by watching a fight with her older brother on TV. She'd stepped out to go to the store during the fight, and a neighborhood bully attempted to rob her, and possibly more.

When the bully grabbed her, she suddenly broke the grip he had on her with her forearm, and spun into a crushing punch. During the ensuing fight, she did several more moves from the fight she'd been watching, a couple from a Bruce Lee movie they'd all watched the week before, and something she saw on a preview for a wrestling pay per view. The punk ran off, limping and tending to wounds, and she was astounded. She realized what she'd just done, and hurriedly ran away to a private place to test her ability. She discovered that she could indeed perform any physical movement as if she'd been doing it for years, simply because she had seen it. She even retained it, because she tried to do some of the moves again and was successful.

Fearful of what her family might say, she kept it a secret from them for years. One night, though, their house got broken into while everyone slept. Destiny's ability is what kept anyone from getting hurt and saved her family, yet her family saw her as a freak. Fear does stupid things to people and Destiny's family was no exception. After a huge argument and fight, where many hurtful things were said, Destiny finally left home, and got a place of her own with the tiny amount she'd been able to save. She was eighteen years old, barely an adult. Since then, she's been making it on her own, and trying to put her painful past behind her.
